Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have delivered first light from their Free Electron Laser (FEL). Only 2 years after ground was broken for the FEL, infrared light of more than 150 watts (150,000 times more powerful than that of a supermarket scanner or CD player) was delivered today — fifteen times the power of existing free-electron lasers.
